Meet Scott Edwards: The numbers may not show the full picture of Scott Edwards’ impact on the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup, but delve deeper and you will find the Netherlands skipper has been an influential figure for his team in their run in the tournament.

In the Netherlands’ famous 38-run win over South Africa at Dharamshala, also their first win in the World Cup over a Test-playing nation, Edwards top-scored with 78 not out as the side made 245/8 after being 140/7. He then took three catches behind the stumps and was astute in his captaincy to lead the Netherlands to a stunning win.

Edwards would again emerge to pull the Netherlands out of the abyss with a gritty 68 and take the total to 229, which was enough to get an emphatic 87-run win over Bangladesh in Kolkata, apart from taking four catches behind the stumps.
